Do not understand what 13 means. I just pushed the pink ball into the pink square on the first try and won. very simple.

Can't beat 13/Big Ball...I think I have to expand the strategies I've been using on the last 12 problems.

Me too. My problem is that I always "expand my strategy" to include cheating and google for answers after I start to get frustrated.

I'm staying strong so far.

Now I'm stuck on the next one...4 balls

I'm trying a converyer type thing but it's not working as I plan

NeitherExtreme · **Reply #9 on:** August 20, 2008, 03:39:24 AM

Well, I'm up to 18. It's an upward tube, and I have no idea where to start.

By the way, have any of you check out some of the other's solutions? Once you beat a level you can check them out. There are some pretty crazy ones!!

Ugh. Four Balls took me an hour. I should have been to bed ages ago.

Thanks a lot jzmtl!!

I got four balls and awash, but still not big ball. No googling thou, unlike some people.

Whoey · **Reply #12 on:** August 20, 2008, 09:53:50 AM

I haven't googled any yet, just looked at some of the other solutions for ones I've done, wow, some people have done some crazy complex stuff!

NeitherExtreme · **Reply #16 on:** August 21, 2008, 04:30:27 AM

As an evil temptation, here's how I beat level 20- "Unpossible".

Warning- That link takes you right to my solution.

I have some ideas about 19 and 20, but haven't had the time to refine design yet. From what I've seen, my design tend to be a lot simpler than most people's.

Mine too. $:-\$ Does that make us smarter or, um, less smarter?
